Title: Targeting neuroimmune interaction in neurodegeneration
Abstract:
The fast progress in human genetics reveals common molecular mechanisms in aging-related neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). This talk focuses on two converging pathways linking AD and FTD, including innate immunity and proteostasis. In human iPSC and mouse models of disease, our research employs a combination of in vitro and in vivo approaches, such as genomic and proteomic approaches, electrophysiology, and behavioral tests.
